The whole town was closing down early
For another Christmas Eve
The bright colored lights,
From the neighbor's front window
Were bringing back warm memories.

He thought of his wife and little Katey
In the house on the far side of town
As he got to the door,
He opened his mailbox
And read the one card he found

It Said:
There's no place like home for Christmas
There's no better feeling I know
With presents 'round the tree
And your whole family
And Christmas won't be Christmas
If you're not comin' home

Katey ran up to her momma
Who was sittin' all alone and feeling sad
And said "Here's a card
The mailman just brought you.
I wonder, could it be from dad?"

It read:
There's no place like home for Christmas
There's no better feeling I know
With presents 'round the tree
And your whole family
And Christmas won't be Christmas
If I'm not comin' home

All it took was one kiss in the doorway
They could feel that old feeling again
The look in their eyes
So loving and tender
Was just like it was back then
Katey watched them together
And she brushed a tear drop away
And smiled as she thought
Of those two Christmas cards
She mailed just yesterday

She cried:
There's no place like home for Christmas
There's no better feeling I know
With presents 'round the tree
And your whole family
Now this Christmas can be Christmas
'Cause everybody's home
Now this Christmas can be Christmas
'Cause everybody's home
